case WAS there anything to attract
more attention to the strangers reported

Thomas Biokel, trustworthy man. has always
said he saw two strangers at the door Of the
bank building on the afternoon OF the robbery
and has descEibed one Of them as very much
resembling stain, with the exception OF the
monstache, which was SANDY, the natural color
OF stains. He saw Cromwell last night and
failed to recognize him, but when he, was
brought face to face with stain he declared
positively that he was ono OF the two men he
saw at the door Of the bank building.
BENJAMIN Z. Thompson, blacksmith and a
reliable citizen, makes positive identifica-
ton OF Cromwell. He says:
:. was going up the st street about II o'clock
In the forenoon OF Feb. az. the day q the rob
berry. When directly opposite the Pank saw
ionr ruhbeS ovcrcnat n soft can' with n visor
drawn well down over his eyes noticed the
face on account OF the high cheek bones, He
passed directly In front OF me through the door
into the bank This Is not the first time [
have told this story for tho circumstance was
clearly recalled to me the next day when I
heard OF Mr.. Barron's murder. l am ready to
make oath that this man Cromwell is the indi-
yidual saw going to the bank building that
Mr. D. F. Thompson also Identifies Cromwell
as a man he saw on the street that day,
Mrs Kate A, Russell, who Is now in Boston,
will prove the most valuable witness against
the accused men II she Identifies them. She
